The first paper of my PhD (and my first first-author paper!) is out now in Marine Biology 🌊 🎆 We tracked snow petrels in a season of extreme weather and little sea ice in east Antarctica❄️ read more on our #ANTSIE webpage here:

A circumpolar review of the breeding distribution and habitat use of the snow petrel (Pagodroma nivea), the world’s most southerly breeding vertebrate - Polar Biology Knowledge of the spatial distribution of many polar seabird species is incomplete due to the remoteness of their breeding locations. Here, we compiled a new database of published and unpublished recor...

Another announcement and a pre Christmas celebration of newly published #ANTSIE work: Masters student Josie Francis updated the database of snow petrel distributions and analysed potential sea ice and breeding habitat controls link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Durham University study finds sea ice melt impacts birds' feed trips Albatrosses and petrels are being forced to fly further to find food, a study claims.

Antarctic sea ice is also important for seabirds not usually linked to it - new paper from our #ANTSIE project www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Interested in seabird archives of Antarctic sea ice? Two opportunities to learn about our #ANTSIE project today #EGU24: Claire Penny outlines the last 2000 yrs (12.15 room 0.14) and Mark Stevenson pushes back through the Holocene (14.54 room L3) in the Weddell Sea @GeogDurham
